I reckon those girls will help Theon escape because they are jealous of Sansa and do so to spite Ramsey.

Yeah that was all a bit of a shock! Im guessing GW is alive because there were some scenes in the series trailer that he was in that I havent seen happen yet. As for Ser Barry, I really hope he's alive.

The actor who plays Ser Barriston (I want to say Ian McElliney but I'm probably wrong) was on the Thronecast show afterwards throwing out spoilers. I won't comment but he pissed me right off.

What about Tyrion and Jorah then hey? Do we reckon the whole war outside of Mereen is gonna get dumped and Tyrion is gonna waltz in and become all politic-y again?

I suspect that Jorah and Tyrion's journey to Meereen has a way to go yet. For one thing we've had too many mentions of Greyscale for it not to be leading somewhere and there was a comment (from Stannis?) about the Stone Men in Valyria last nigh. Nothing is in there by accident.

ANd I'm still convinced that the Red Priestess from Volantis is going to be back based on the fact that the actress is a known face (Wolverine and Arrow) so is unlikely to have been cast for a single scene.

When do you think we find out about R + L = J? More comments about Rhaegar and Lyanna this week, and Stannis saying that a tavern whore wasn't Ned's style. My son worked it out and asked me after the episode whether.......well, wether ? + L = J, then talked it through and worked out the R.

The Dragon has three heads, though. Step Forward Tyrion Targaryen?

Good point regarding the Greyscale. As ever, it will be interesting to see how they squeeze in those important bits which occur during bits which have otherwise been effectively written out of the series.

I really dont know, the hints are all there but I cant really see the benefit of revealing it at this point in the story. Jon is digging his heels in over the whole Nights Watch vows things and he is about to head off North to Hardholme isnt he? Its possible though that it will be revealed that A+J=T as at least Tyrion is on his way to Dany and the dragons. God I hope that it pans out like that! :)

I've often wondered what difference R+L=J will really have. I mean, who will know, who will believe it anyway, and how will he be able to use it? Maybe it's just a thing he'll find out for hisown identity without being in a position to reveal it more widely or exploit it in any way? Or maybe he'll be able to ride dragons and save the world.

Here's a thought that I've had planted that I'm pondering: If the faceless men worship death and the lord of light and the Others are able to re-animate corpses, are they the real opposites? Is that where the story goes? Can't be, surely?

It would certainly pave the way for him to be one head of the dragon as he'd be half Stark, half Targaryen... A song of fire and ice and all that :)

Im not sure what you're getting at with the last bit. Am I being a bit dim?

We all think it's going to be the Lord of Light against The Others as the big final battle. What if it's the both of them against the Faceless Men? What if it's everlasting almost-life against the possibility of release through death? Mortality against Undead? Freedom against slavery of sorts.
